Finally the writer ji.-mseil stml for a

The trovernor eouM mi longer tlonl.t
tiie testimony of his own ears, hut a
stranjre iiiinilin-s-- seiziil him, ami he
felt unahle to rise from his ehair.
In another moment it was to late,

The governor's face turned pale.
KjIk; was one of the worst ili-sit. rad.H-s
that had Ut-n sent to tiie penitentiary
in many years, and his midnight viit

"V.-s; I skipji.-d out last ni-i-.t. Tlu-n

As he suid this Iil' exhiiiited a Iarj;e

"You see, I am well fixiil, and I

"Well, foveruor, to mnke a lonr

to p iy my w.iy out WV,"
It was an outragtsiiis r.'i'.H-st.
Should the ruler of a jrreal State allow
himself t- If huildozed into pardoning
a m-ird.-ror and supplying him with
funds?.
And yet what wa3 to he done? It
wjs impvissihle to raise an idarm that
would Ik heard. If the intruder's !.-m-ttid
was r.'fu-nsl, t lie irovem ir would
l a dead man, and tiie iMiivi't would
rh his iK-rsoii an 1 make his ise.-iji..
The heroic thin;? would lie ! resist
to the en 1, Imt tiie pivernor thought
of his youtii? wife, and he fell that hi.
mu-t s;ive his life at any cost. It was
out of the iit-stin f r an unarmed
linn indelicate health to str:i;ule w ith
a j;ia:it like I ted UuU, w h co ild fini-.Ii
h'nil with his knife in a second.
"I won't Ik hard on vim," said
IiiiU, "hut I lau.t have the pardon,
and I must have at least HW
"I will .summon help," said the jrov
ernor. "Kxeii-a. me, hut you can't," replied
Itil Huh?. "The servants and the
neijjhi.irs enn't hear you, and if you
raise your voice or try to rin a Ik-11,
why, I'll have to use this," and he
Minted to his knife.
The helpless nun on the other side
of the lah'.e could not repress a slight
shudder, hut h. m i le an ctlort to ap
pear calm.
"You are drunk or cr.izy," he said
sL-rnly, "hut I will give you one
chanc?. L'.nve the house, and I will
say nothing alumt your visiL"
lt-d Ituhe laulus! heartily.
"You don't size up the situation." he
said. "I have got to make this deal or
go hack to prison, and I will die U-fore
I w ill go hack. Xow, if I kill you and
they capture me, they will not hang
in?."
"I would like to know why," said
the astonished governor.
"Ill-cause they have sent ine to the
insane ward," was the answer, "ami
they were getting ready to put me in
the asylum. I am no longer a crim
inal, hut a howling lun itie, don't you
see? Well, if they try me for killing
you, all they will d: will U to send me
t- the insane aylum."
Tin governor sank back in hi, chair,
ESTA.T3LISIIED 1827.
"You see," said Huh?, "I was ones
ae piitted of a murder in Texas on the
ground of insanity ami was I n ked up
a year in an aylum, hut I got out,
and here I am. I c-tn prove that in
sanity runs in my family. My father
a.id two of my 1. rollers have Iki-ii
crazy for year. Wh."i I am distji

II-.' lo iked liken m id, tun, w ith his
glaring eyes and unkempf hair.
"There is 11 glory in h. iii ? killed by

Hut he tried 0:1 m ire e.pp.'al.
"I am sorry for you," h. xiid, "if

hill. Take it and go. Follow the coun
try roads an I g,-t out tif the Siateand
try to lead a letter life."
"Thank," siifr.-d tiie rohln-r.
Then, firmly grasping his knife, he
w.ilk-.-d to the governor's chair.
"Time Hi,-," he growled. Fix that
pardon, a.id fix i( ,! tl quick, and
hand me that slt !"
Hi I.mk was that of a wild hi a.t,
and a white froth sto.nl 011 his lip..
Tie man in lite chair looked up into
the p:;i'.;s faiv u'kivc him. K-d Uuli.;
cam closer with hi big knife.
" Yes or no sav it quick!" he inut

"Ail ri-ht," was the ha-ty r. j.ly
"Here's tiie m ney, and n w I'll fix
the .iPl in
1 le oa-i.d a drawer iu hi d-.s-k and
t.mk out a printed form partially filled
out.
"I wa going to visit the penitentia
ry to-morrow," he exphuiied, "and I
had several pardons iilk-d out by my
s-.s-rctary, wiih thegiiat fsal attixel,
and all that I have to do is to put hi
your name and sign my own."
Iu a moment the l!a::ks were filled,
an 1 K"-l Utihe had the precious il.K-ti-
lilellt in bis jNieket.
"Mue't obliged, governor," said he
wiiii a -mil., " but you won't pfay any
trick, will you?"
"Xot if I c.iu help il." was the an
swer. "I d :i'i want you -.ciglt:. I
am t!c last man in the world to make

"I ibouj.t so," r.-pli.il Kab... 'Tiiat

gi-t away, and if they ever find out who
I am when I g.-t out West this pardon
will protect me. Walk to the door

The other followed without a word to
the bai kd .tor of the hall."
;.md bye, old man," whisp.-red
Uulie. "Xo trick, y(). know."
"I shall say nothing amloll'.-r no re

Itulx disappeared in the d trkness.
softly chuckling as lie went.
'Tardon-d by the g.-vc-norl" he
kept repeating to hitii.-.-!!'.
Tiie iroverwor 1m ke.l the door and
returned to the library. All night

111 arkuble that the chief ja.- ticc should
assume, as is so commonly done by
ceuii-cl, that the jury will construe the
law more favorably to the prisoner
than the court would. It is. mly a con

If legal power means leg-.d right, then

w ithout n-gar l locithi rlavvi-revideiice
fr their p twt-r to do sit is beyond ques

luntai.liity, they follow the maxim of
lynch law, that the murdered man
deserved to die anyhow, and therefore
his murderer should not Ik punished
even though he 110 longer seeks refuge
behind the thin veil of transit ry in
sanity that Ifgan when the shot wa
tired and ended when it had killed its
man.' Whether the distinction U-twcvii

iin-ultstantial in practice or not it i
j clear ami vita! and I repudiate such
coiifu.ioii of logical as well as moral
